Date of Publication

The standard structure of a reference in the bibliography:
<surname author>, <author’s initials>. (<year of publication>). <title of the publication>. <place of publication>.

The publication year is written in brackets after the author’s name, followed by a full stop.

  • When there is no publication year or date: (n.d.) (no date).
  • When referencing articles that have been accepted for publication but have not yet been published, you must state (in press).
